COOKEVILLE, TN – CityScape is proud to partner with Michael Rezi and Nissan of Cookeville to be a Founder Partner of their organization. Through the Patron program, CityScape remains dedicated to revitalizing downtown Cookeville through economic restructuring and historic preservation. Through these partnerships, CityScape has continued to grant the façade and awning program within our downtown footprint. With the help of their many donors and volunteers over the years, CityScape has helped Cookeville to become a certified Tennessee Main Street Community, a tremendous accomplishment for our city.

“When I moved to Cookeville as the owner of Nissan of Cookeville, my goal was to choose a small town that takes great pride in their city. I am originally from Italy, where the culture is all about historical preservation of their cities. When I walk downtown Cookeville, I can see the influence of CityScape in the way they have kept the buildings occupied and retained the historic preservation of the buildings” quotes Michael Rezi. “It is evident that Cookeville is a town that cares about their downtown and I can feel their sense of pride and commitment to our city. I am extremely honored and proud to be a Founder Partner of Cityscape, and my commitment to Cookeville has just started.”
